Welcome!

You may wonder at the title of my blog. And originally it was a title that was very insignificant (see first post). I have often had the desire to change my blog's name or even to start a new one as the address is also soo do or pseudo. But this last year at bible school I had an assignment on generosity based on two chapters from the Bible (Leviticus 25 and Deuteronomy 15) that changed my perspective a bit. In Deuteronomy God tells the Israelites "...you shall not harden your hearts, nor close your hand from your brother, but you shall freely open your hand to him and generously lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he lacks." (Deut. 15:7-8).
Soo do means open hand in Korean, or at least that is what I have been told in my karate classes, and after remembering this and working through my generosity assignment, I wondered to myself: Am I a soo do (open hand) christian or a psuedo christian? This question continues to challenge me. I often keep my time, money, and encouragements to myself and don't give generously. But God calls us to give all we have, for our security lies not in our weatlh, or health, or time, or place, but ultimately in Him.
This blog is for me to share my thoughts and my days, things I love and places I go, my struggles and His victories, and ultimately His work in and through me will hopefully make me a soo do christian.

hello!

hello Everyone. here i am in beautiful British Columbia! Unfortunately i don't have my camera cord with me so you will have to wait for pictures. But i am thoroughly enjoying myself here and i am learning so much. Last week i went on my "venture"( the bungy jumping was all full so i went caving instead). it was really quite amazing. we got to experience 100% darkness and it is strange because your eyes will try to adjust but they will never be able to. and we did a lot of climbing, we climbed through crevices and holes and up a trickling waterfall and slide sideways through a crack in the rock that was less than a foot and a half wide. way cool! any way as soon as i get my camera hook up i'll post all my pics.I love all of you and i am praying for you.

Its great to hear your having fun!

Judging by previous posts however, your still focusing on your studies and are actually thinking about some of the harder stuff, which is fantastic!

Your last line in this post reminds me of Brad's sermon today... Definitely worth listening to!
